To the staff at Elysium, I just wanted to say that not all of us are haters, wanting to insult you and complain about the things you have not fixed yet. I love playing on this server, and it's pretty awesome how well it runs the vast majority of the time. This is, to me, the second best iteration of wow (my favorite is The Burning Crusade) and the most fun I have had playing WoW in a very long time. Please try to ignore the haters here, on twitter and reddit and etc because while they may sadly be the most vocal, they are not the majority. You guys are doing an awesome job despite some setbacks, an enormous amount of players and lack of income. Thank you very much for giving me a world to escape to and a much needed stress relief from my daily life. You are all appreciated, present and past staff. -A happy resident of Zeth'kur

You could be right, so skip the badges. A monthly donation option to set and forget would be nice.

Did you even read my post? The only thing I mentioned was a forum badge, which I personally don't care about. Was just an idea to maybe get people to sign up for a sub that would have not the slightest in-game benefit. I personally just want a sub option, something I can just "set and forget". As you can see from the shear volume of my posts I'm not active in the forums anyway, though I have been playing here for a while.

I would like to formally request that you add a subscription option. This option would provide no perks to us whatsoever other than maybe a forum badge would be nice. This is also blizzlike in every way, and I would gladly pay for this service to support your awesome team but I am unable to pay a whole month of server fees.. I'm not made of money. I would suggest 3 monthly donation options, giving a gold, silver or bronze badge respectively. 10$USD, 5$USD and 1$USD. Maybe also a Platinum badge for paying full retail price of 14.99$USD. This would greatly offset server costs and allow for you guys to dedicate more time to maintaining and advancing. Hopefully allowing serious TBC development as well. If you wanted to stick to the whole non-profit thing you could, just auto cancel all donations once you reach a nice cushion of months/weeks paid up on all realms and then advertise when you need more money, allowing those that can to restart their subs. I can personally promise at least 10$ a month from me, and depending on improvements made, maybe the 15$.

I'm not complaining about queue times, though they are rather nuts. My thinking is that if you do not implement it very soon then the people that have been grinding their butts off on the new server may not want to move to the fourth one, making it's population less than ideal and doing little to fix the queues. This is of course assuming that there are not another 10000+ players waiting on a 4th server. What you guys have done here is already nothing short of amazing and I am looking forward to re-living the good-old-days of Wow here for a long time.
